This updates `thread/resume` to be at parity with v1's
`ResumeConversationParams`. Turns out history is useful for codex cloud
and path is useful for the VSCode extension. And config overrides are
always useful.
This PR addresses https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/6360. The root
problem is that the TUI was directly loading the `auth.json` file to
access the auth information. It should instead be using the AuthManager,
which records the current auth information. The `auth.json` file can be
overwritten at any time by other instances of the CLI or extension, so
its information can be out of sync with the current instance. The
`/status` command should always report the auth information associated
with the current instance.
An alternative fix for this bug was submitted by @chojs23 in [this
PR](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/6495). That approach was only a
partial fix.
This is important to ensure that this:
```
codex --enable unified_exec
```
and this:
```
codex --config features.unified_exec=true
```
are equivalent. Also that when it is passed programmatically:
807e2c27f0/codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v1.rs (L55)
then this should work for `config`:
```json
{"features": {"shell_command_tool": true}}
```
though I believe also this:
```json
{"features.shell_command_tool": true}
```
This adds support for a new variant of the shell tool behind a flag. To
test, run `codex` with `--enable shell_command_tool`, which will
register the tool with Codex under the name `shell_command` that accepts
the following shape:
```python
{
command: str
workdir: str | None,
timeout_ms: int | None,
with_escalated_permissions: bool | None,
justification: str | None,
}
```
This is comparable to the existing tool registered under
`shell`/`container.exec`. The primary difference is that it accepts
`command` as a `str` instead of a `str[]`. The `shell_command` tool
executes by running `execvp(["bash", "-lc", command])`, though the exact
arguments to `execvp(3)` depend on the user's default shell.
The hypothesis is that this will simplify things for the model. For
example, on Windows, instead of generating:
```json
{"command": ["pwsh.exe", "-NoLogo", "-Command", "ls -Name"]}
```
The model could simply generate:
```json
{"command": "ls -Name"}
```
As part of this change, I extracted some logic out of `user_shell.rs` as
`Shell::derive_exec_args()` so that it can be reused in
`codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/shell.rs`. Note the original code
generated exec arg lists like:
```javascript
["bash", "-lc", command]
["zsh", "-lc", command]
["pwsh.exe", "-NoProfile", "-Command", command]
```
Using `-l` for Bash and Zsh, but then specifying `-NoProfile` for
PowerShell seemed inconsistent to me, so I changed this in the new
implementation while also adding a `use_login_shell: bool` option to
make this explicit. If we decide to add a `login: bool` to
`ShellCommandToolCallParams` like we have for unified exec:
807e2c27f0/codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/unified_exec.rs (L33-L34)
Then this should make it straightforward to support.
This PR fixes#6522 by correcting the comment for `full-auto` in both
`codex-rs/exec/src/cli.rs` and `codex-rs/tui/src/cli.rs` from `-a
on-failure` to `-a on-request` to make it coherent with
`codex-rs/tui/src/lib.rs:97-105`:
```rust
pub async fn run_main(
mut cli: Cli,
codex_linux_sandbox_exe: Option<PathBuf>,
) -> std::io::Result<AppExitInfo> {
let (sandbox_mode, approval_policy) = if cli.full_auto {
(
Some(SandboxMode::WorkspaceWrite),
Some(AskForApproval::OnRequest),
)
```
Running `just codex --help` or `just codex exec --help` should now yield
the correct description of `full-auto` CLI argument.

This one should be quite straightforward, as it's just a translation of
TurnItem events we already emit to ThreadItem that app-server exposes to
customers.

following:
```

Unified exec isn't working on Linux because we don't provide the correct
arg0.
The library we use for pty management doesn't allow setting arg0
separately from executable. Use the same aliasing strategy we use for
`apply_patch` for `codex-linux-sandbox`.
Use `#[ctor]` hack to dispatch codex-linux-sandbox calls.
Addresses https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/6450
We already do this for notification definitions and it's really nice.
Verified there are no changes to actual exported files by diff'ing
before and after this change.
- Moved the unix-only suspend/resume logic into a dedicated job_control
module housing SuspendContext, replacing scattered cfg-gated fields and
helpers in tui.rs.
- Tui now holds a single suspend_context (Arc-backed) instead of
multiple atomics, and the event stream uses it directly for Ctrl-Z
handling.
- Added detailed docs around the suspend/resume flow, cursor tracking,
and the Arc/atomic ownership model for the 'static event stream.
- Renamed the process-level SIGTSTP helper to suspend_process and the
cursor tracker to set_cursor_y to better reflect their roles.
This adds a debugging tool for analyzing why certain commands fail to
execute under the sandbox.
Example output:
```
$ codex debug seatbelt --log-denials bash -lc "(echo foo > ~/foo.txt)"
bash: /Users/nornagon/foo.txt: Operation not permitted
=== Sandbox denials ===
(bash) file-write-data /dev/tty
(bash) file-write-data /dev/ttys001
(bash) sysctl-read kern.ngroups
(bash) file-write-create /Users/nornagon/foo.txt
```
It operates by:
1. spawning `log stream` to watch system logs, and
2. tracking all descendant PIDs using kqueue + proc_listchildpids.
this is a "best-effort" technique, as `log stream` may drop logs(?), and
kqueue + proc_listchildpids isn't atomic and can end up missing very
short-lived processes. But it works well enough in my testing to be
useful :)
## Summary
- log and surface clipboard failures instead of silently ignoring them
when `Ctrl+V` pastes an image (`paste_image_to_temp_png()` now feeds an
error history cell)
- enable `arboard`’s `wayland-data-control` feature so native Wayland
sessions can deliver image data without XWayland
- keep the success path unchanged: valid images still attach and show
the `[image …]` placeholder as before

## Summary
- add a `hide_rate_limit_model_nudge` notice flag plus config edit
plumbing so the rate limit reminder preference is persisted and
documented
- extend the chat widget prompt with a "never show again" option, and
wire new app events so selecting it hides future nudges immediately and
writes the config
- add unit coverage and refresh the snapshot for the three-option prompt
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-tui`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` *(fails at
`exec::tests::kill_child_process_group_kills_grandchildren_on_timeout`:
grandchild process still alive)*

[Codex
Task](https://chatgpt.com/codex/tasks/task_i_6910d7f407748321b2661fc355416994)
Add a `codex generate-json-schema` command for generating a JSON schema
bundle of app-server types, analogous to the existing `codex
generate-ts` command for Typescript.
I recently fixed a bug in [this
PR](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/6285) that prevented Ctrl+C
from dismissing the login menu in the TUI and leaving the user unauthed.
A [user pointed out](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/6418) that
this makes Ctrl+C can no longer be used to exit the app. This PR changes
the behavior so we exit the app rather than ignoring the Ctrl+C.
Update `codex generate-ts` to use the TS export code from
`app-server-protocol/src/export.rs`.
I realized there were two duplicate implementations of Typescript export
code:
- `app-server-protocol/src/export.rs`
- the `codex-protocol-ts` crate
The `codex-protocol-ts` crate that `codex generate-ts` uses is out of
date now since it doesn't handle the V2 namespace from:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/6212.
The CLI help text and inline comments incorrectly stated that -c
key=value flag parses values as JSON, when the implementation actually
uses TOML parsing via parse_toml_value(). This caused confusion when
users attempted to configure MCP servers using JSON syntax based on the
documentation.
Changes:
- Updated help text to correctly state TOML parsing instead of JSON
Fixes#4531

On Windows, `npm` by itself does not resolve under std::process::Command
which does not consider PATHEXT to resolve it to `npm.cmd` in the PATH.
By running the npm upgrade command via cmd.exe we get proper path
semantics so it actually works.
## Problem
`codex cloud` always instantiated `AuthManager` with `File` mode,
ignoring the user's actual `cli_auth_credentials_store` setting. This
caused users with `cli_auth_credentials_store = "keyring"` (or `"auto"`)
to see "Not signed in" errors even when they had valid credentials
stored in the system keyring.
## Root cause
The code called `Config::load_from_base_config_with_overrides()` with an
empty `ConfigToml::default()`, which always returned `File` as the
default store mode instead of loading the actual user configuration.
## Solution
- **Added `util::load_cli_auth_manager()` helper**
Properly loads user config via
`load_config_as_toml_with_cli_overrides()` and extracts the
`cli_auth_credentials_store` setting before creating `AuthManager`.
- **Updated callers**
- `init_backend()` - used when starting cloud tasks UI
- `build_chatgpt_headers()` - used for API requests
## Testing
- ✅ `just fmt`
- ✅ `just fix -p codex-cloud-tasks`
- ✅ `cargo test -p codex-cloud-tasks`
## Files changed
- `codex-rs/cloud-tasks/src/lib.rs`
- `codex-rs/cloud-tasks/src/util.rs`
## Verification
Users with keyring-based auth can now run `codex cloud` successfully
without "Not signed in" errors.

3 improvements:
1. show up to 3 actual paths that are world-writable
2. do the scan/warning for Read-Only mode too, because it also applies
there
3. remove the "Cancel" option since it doesn't always apply (like on
startup)
Shows single-key shortcuts (y, a, n) next to approval options to make
them more discoverable. Previously these shortcuts worked but were
hidden, making the feature hard to discover.
Changes:
- "Yes, proceed" now shows "y" shortcut
- "Yes, and don't ask again" now shows "a" shortcut
- "No, and tell Codex..." continues to show "esc" shortcut
This improves UX by surfacing the quick keyboard shortcuts that were
already functional but undiscoverable in the UI.

1. scan many more directories since it's much faster than the original
implementation
2. limit overall scan time to 2s
3. skip some directories that are noisy - ApplicationData, Installer,
etc.
## Summary
- launch shell tool processes in their own process group so Codex owns
the full tree
- on timeout or ctrl-c, send SIGKILL to the process group before
terminating the tracked child
- document that the default shell/unified_exec timeout remains 1000 ms
## Original Bug
Long-lived shell tool commands hang indefinitely because the timeout
handler only terminated the direct child process; any grandchildren it
spawned kept running and held the PTY open, preventing Codex from
regaining control.
## Repro Original Bug
Install next.js and run `next dev` (which is a long-running shell
process with children). On openai:main, it will cause the agent to
permanently get stuck here until human intervention. On this branch,
this command will be terminated successfully after timeout_ms which will
unblock the agent. This is a critical fix for unmonitored / lightly
monitored agents that don't have immediate human observation to unblock
them.
